3- The main advantage is that it is an open and actively developped platform. If you find a problem or want a feature you can kindly ask and it will at least be heard, or you can implement it yourself. More immediate advantages are: support for more formats (ePub, LIT, rtf, are good candidates), possibility of adjusting some parameters (margins, line spacing), folder support, etc. Another advantage is the possibility of using the same software in different readers.
I am moderately tech-savvy, so I take note of your comment in 2....
now if you were to tell me that it could provide folder support to the Cybook ... earlier and better than Bookeen's firmware then you may convince me that it is worthwhile my consideration....
